It has been three weeks since my last post. My husband and I took a short trip to Florida and I have been busy catching up since. I hope this weekend will allow me to spend some time in my studio!

I was honoured to be invited to speak to the Edmonton and District Quilt Guild on February 17th. This was my first public speaking event. I was asked to share how my career as a graphic artist has influenced my quilting. I thought I might be nervous, but not so... I was very excited to talk about something I am so passionate about. What a great opportunity AND what a great bunch of people. I was warmly welcomed and I appreciate all the kind and supportive comments made to me after the talk. Thank you!

On my way home to Grande Prairie the next day, I stopped at Pam's Wooly Shop in Stony Plain. I found this lovely wool batt, which is about 1.5 feet square(ish). I have no idea what I am going to do with it, but the colours are gorgeous and the batt itself is so inviting to touch. It is meant to be spun, but of course this won't happen in my studio. I will incorporate it into a project eventually... or maybe just enjoy it as the rainbow that I caught :-)
